Stuck Moving: Pearl Jam Letters and Lyrics

Americanist Dinner Forum

TBD | 6:30 PM

This Americanist Dinner Forum centers on Stuck Moving: Pearl Jam Letters and Lyrics, the new book from Peter Benson, AMCS Director. Stuck Moving is a true life campus novel that follows an anthropology professor who struggles to reassemble his broken and fragmented life and make meaning of his profession against the backdrop of the end of the world. Dramatic personal failures and dysfunctions are written into cultural studies of perilous times, austerity economics, conservative politics, societal hypocrisies, endless warfare, spurious entertainment industries, commercialized higher education, and for-profit humanitarianism. Modestly confronting hopelessness not as epic narrative but in the mediocrity, disarray, fraying, and calamity of the long littleness of life, this book is a singular experiment in grunge anthropology and literature.
